Renée Herlocker ‏@reneeherlockercelebrates the 4th in the most delicious way ...

She covers competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut break his own record on Thursday, July 4th 2013 scarfing—wait for it—69 hot dogs in a row to win his 7th straight Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on ESPN.

The annual competition on Brooklyn’s Coney Island is a major event in the competitive eating world, and with six championships already under his Mustard Belt, Chestnut is considered the Michael Jordan of the sport.

Chestnut ate 67 links last year, but cleared his own record by two kosher dogs on this July 4th.
Experts, such as they are, estimate Chestnut would gain approximately eight pounds during the competition. More, by the numbers:

However, it is really creepy when more than one person mentions they have friended me and I won't confirm them but, hey, they don't really care because my profile is open and they can view whatever I post anyway. ... (ha, & they sure do = creepy). And, when people you don't really know all that well or at all and, are not friends with on facebook, mention things you've posted, it's kinda weird. I know many people are just figuring all this "social media" #neweverydaymedia all out and it's hard because it changes so quickly and it's all pretty new. ..

... I'm confident with the penetration within social media I've done and have shutdown my facebook profile to the public.

So here's to you my friends. ..Moving forward I will only be sharing facebook posts with you!
